March 12, 2006: And On Top Of Everything Else . . .

Our new office came with a beautiful flagpole in front, and the previous occupants kindly left the flags. And it's lighted at night, so normally they fly all the time. But earlier this week we noticed that the Texas flag was a bit ragged on the end . . . and when we hauled the flags down, the halyard broke!

So now we are flagless, and we need to do a bit of research and find out who you call to re-string a halyard. Rent a cherry-picker? Hire somebody to shinny up? Learn to fly?
